泉州海外交通史博物馆
Maritime Museum
The Quanzhou Overseas Transportation History Museum provides a complete framework for understanding scattered heritage sites across the city. Ship models, maritime trade artifacts and religious stone carvings record navigation technology, exchange of goods, and communities from Arabia, Persia, India and other places; Song ship-related materials and multilingual inscriptions unearthed in Houzhu transformed the abstract "Maritime Silk Road" into concrete evidence of ships, people, technology and beliefs.
